Raiders add a linebacker to the active roster

The Oakland Raiders added a linebacker to their active roster Saturday morning.

General manager Reggie McKenzie announced that the team has signed linebacker Shilique Calhoun to the active roster.

Calhoun was originally selected by the Raiders in the third round (75th overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft. As a rookie, he totaled five tackles, 0.5 sacks and one pass defensed in 10 games played before suffering a knee injury last year.

The 6-foot-4, 250-pounder played in 54 games with 41 starts over four seasons at Michigan State, finishing with 131 career tackles. He also tallied 27 sacks, ranking second on the school’s all-time list.

In a corresponding move, the Raiders have placed CB Antonio Hamilton on the Reserve/Injured List.
